“…The experiment was counterbalanced such that every participants performed all of the task conditions (Human Collaborator, Direct Robot Collaborator, Non-Direct Robot Collaborator and Solo). Reported arousal and valence variables were computed from the GEW questionnaire, while the social category variables (engagement, reliability, credibility, interaction and presence) were obtained from analyzing and grouping replies to the Interactive Experiences [65,70] and the Trust and respect questionnaire [61,72], shown in "Appendices A and B". Analyses were performed using SPSS with the alpha level at 0.05 for all statistical tests.…”

The aim of this paper is to investigate performance in a collaborative human-robot interaction on a shared serious game task. Furthermore, the effect of elicited emotions and perceived social behavior categories on players' performance will be investigated. The participants collaboratively played a turn-taking version of the Tower of Hanoi serious game, together with the human and robot collaborators. The elicited emotions were analyzed in regards to the arousal and valence variables, computed from the Geneva Emotion Wheel questionnaire. Moreover, the perceived social behavior categories were obtained from analyzing and grouping replies to the Interactive Experiences and Trust and Respect questionnaires. It was found that the results did not show a statistically significant difference in participants' performance between the human or robot collaborators. Moreover, all of the collaborators elicited similar emotions, where the human collaborator was perceived as more credible and socially present than the robot one. It is suggested that using robot collaborators might be as efficient as using human ones, in the context of serious game collaborative tasks.

“…To measure the trust felt by a person towards a robot, the receptivity/trust sub-scale of the Relational Communication Scale was adapted to apply to the robot [72]. The adaptation in this case was simply changing "he/she" in the original scale to "the robot" or "the human" (see "Appendix B").…”

“…Fifteen questions were used to measure trust, they came from Wheeless's and Grotz's Individualized Trust Scale as reported in [Rubin et al, 2004]. General engagement was measured by five questions that were taken from the six aspects of presence in [Lombard et al, 2000].…”

Telepresence refers to a set of technologies that allow users to feel present at a distant location, telerobotics is a subfield of telepresence. Much work has been done in telerobotics through the years to provide safer working environments for people or to reach locations that would otherwise be inaccessible. More recently telerobots have been developed for communication purposes but as of yet they have not accommodated for other channels of communication than audio or video. The design and evaluation of a telepresence robot that allows for social expression is the content of this thesis. Our claim is that a telerobot that communicates more than simply audio or video but also expressive gestures, body language or pose and proxemics will allow for a more engaging and enjoyable interaction. An iterative design process of the MeBot platform is described in detail as well as the design of supporting systems and various control interfaces. A human subject study was conducted where the effects of expressivity were measured. Our results show that a socially expressive robot was found to be more engaging and likable than a static one. It was also found that expressiveness contributes to more psychological involvement and better cooperation.

Response Options for Scales: Does It Matter What Words You Use?

Scales are a commonly used method for measuring variables in media and communication research. As researchers use scales designed in previous studies, they may find it necessary to alter the scale to fit the subjects or research conditions. The current study sought to explore the effects of these alterations by comparing scores on two scales when response options were changed. When response options were changed, significant differences occurred in the way subjects scored on the scales. This suggests that such alterations need to be carefully considered when designing a study. Findings from this study are especially beneficial for researchers collecting data for online instruments and organizational advancements.
